Rhea-AI Filing Summary

OceanaGold Corporation is calling a virtual Annual General and Special Meeting where shareholders will vote on director elections, auditor re-appointment, executive pay, and moving to virtual-only AGMs from 2027.

The circular highlights a record 2025, with 497,600 ounces of gold and 13,300 tonnes of copper produced, above mid-point guidance, and multiple financial records across EBITDA, margins, net profit, earnings per share, operating cash flow and free cash flow. Strong performance and higher realized gold prices helped drive a 228% increase in total shareholder return in 2025.

Given this backdrop, the Board approved a tripling of the dividend and a doubling of the share buyback program in 2026, allowing up to $432 million of capital returns. The company also details a pay-for-performance executive compensation framework heavily weighted to variable incentives, robust share ownership requirements, and an expanded performance share rights plan, while emphasizing board independence, majority voting, term limits, and a climate and ESG-focused governance structure.

Positive

  • Record 2025 operating and financial results with 497,600 oz of gold and 13,300 t of copper produced above guidance mid-point, and multiple records across EBITDA, margins, net profit, EPS, operating cash flow and free cash flow, alongside a 228% increase in total shareholder return.
  • Significantly enhanced capital return profile for 2026, as the Board approved tripling the dividend and doubling the share buyback, enabling up to $432 million of potential returns to shareholders supported by strong cash generation and current gold prices.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

Record 2025 results support sharply higher capital returns and performance-based pay.

OceanaGold reports 2025 production of 497,600 ounces of gold and 13,300 tonnes of copper, above mid-point guidance, alongside record EBITDA, margins, net profit, earnings per share, operating cash flow and free cash flow. Total shareholder return rose 228% in 2025.

On the back of this performance and a strong gold price environment, the Board approved tripling the dividend and doubling the share buyback for 2026, enabling up to $432 million in capital returns. Executive and director incentives are heavily performance-linked, with large equity-based components and stringent ownership guidelines, tying rewards to long-term value creation.

The circular also stresses governance features such as majority voting, director term limits, fully independent committees and an incentive-based compensation recovery policy. Future disclosures on execution of the enlarged capital return programs and on continued reserve and resource delivery will help investors gauge the sustainability of these record outcomes.

Performance rights outstanding 5,515,849 rights Performance Share Rights Plan as of December 31, 2025
Total Shareholder Return financial
"Against this backdrop of exceptional performance and shareholder value creation, 2025 Total Shareholder Return increased by 228% year on year."
Total shareholder return is the overall gain an investor gets from owning a stock, combining changes in the share price plus any cash payouts like dividends, and assuming those payouts are reinvested in more shares. Investors use it like a single score that shows the true return on their investment—similar to checking both the growth of a savings account and the interest earned—to compare how well different companies or investments perform over time.
Deferred Unit Plan financial
"The Company introduced a cash-based Deferred Unit Plan for Non-Executive Directors in 2016, following an independent review of Board compensation."
Performance Share Rights Plan financial
"The Company currently operates only one active equity-based compensation plan, being the Performance Share Rights Plan, which was re-approved by Shareholders in June 2024."
Normal Course Issuer Bid financial
"In 2025, the Company actively repurchased Common Shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) in excess of the number of LTI awards that vested in 2023, 2024 and 2025."
A Normal Course Issuer Bid is when a company buys back its own shares from the stock market over time. This usually shows that the company believes its stock is undervalued and wants to support its price, which can be important for investors to watch.
Short-Term Incentive financial
"The Company operates an annual Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) Plan designed to build a strong performance culture, incentivize superior business performance and attract, retain and motivate our employees."
A short-term incentive is a cash or similar bonus paid to employees, often executives or sales staff, for meeting performance targets over a brief period (typically a year or less). It matters to investors because these payments shape management behavior, influence reported profits and cash flow, and signal which goals the company prioritizes—like rewarding quarterly sales or cost cuts—so they can affect future growth, risk and shareholder value.

Letter to Shareholders  

Dear Shareholders,

2025 was an outstanding year of delivery aligned with our corporate strategy, which is to increase and sustain a higher value for OceanaGold shares. Across our portfolio,

we delivered safe and responsible gold production, met our commitments to the market and achieved record financial results, all while continuing to invest in both resilience and growth opportunities within the business.

Operational and Financial Performance

In 2025 we produced 497,600 ounces of gold and 13,300 tonnes of copper, above the mid-point of our full-year guidance. With strong production performance and record average realized gold prices, we achieved numerous financial records including: unadjusted and Adjusted EBITDA(1), EBITDA Margin, Net Profit, Earnings Per Share, Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow(1).

During the year, we continued to invest in our assets, progressed our organic growth and exploration projects, strengthened our balance sheet, and returned a record amount of capital to our shareholders through our increased dividend and share buyback programs.

Each of our four assets delivered or exceeded their 2025 production guidance, reflecting disciplined execution and a strong focus on operating performance. At Haile, the year was capped off with a strong fourth quarter as the open pit transitioned from waste stripping into the next ore phase, which will continue delivering higher grade ore in 2026.

We delivered a similarly strong fourth quarter at Macraes, as the completion of a waste stripping campaign enabled access to ore which drove increased gold production at low All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC)(1). At Waihi, strong operational performance at the Martha Underground led to the site exceeding its production guidance. At Didipio, targeted investments in pumping infrastructure enhanced operational resilience, while the mine delivered on its annual production guidance.

In December 2025, we received the official approval of all permits necessary to develop and operate the Waihi North Project. This represents a significant milestone for us and is transformational for the Company’s future growth. The receipt of the permit is a result of many years of dedicated work by our exceptional team and reflects adherence to New Zealand’s rigorous regulatory standards for responsible mining. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and are excited to be able to begin development of this exceptional, high-return, growth project.

Our Commitment to Safe and Responsible Mining

In 2025, we had no workplace fatalities or life-altering injuries, and our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate improved year on year. This result reflects our commitment to ensuring everyone returns home safely every day, supported by the implementation of our group-wide Fatal Risk control system and comprehensive health risk assessments across all operating sites.

We also continued to embed sustainability into our core business processes and strategic decision-making

 

frameworks. Our MSCI “AA” ESG Rating was maintained for the third consecutive year, reflecting the strength of our approach and commitment to sustainability.

Looking Forward(2)

Safely and responsibly delivering on our guidance, while maximizing Free Cash Flow generation and advancing our organic growth and exploration opportunities remains our focus. In 2026 we are expecting another year of strong operational performance, with our guidance projecting higher gold production at a lower AISC.

Our growth and exploration capital is planned to increase this year, which reflects the fully permitted development at the Waihi North Project, the commencement of development at the Palomino Underground at Haile, and a meaningful step-up in group wide exploration expenditures.

We expect 2026 to be another year of strong Free Cash Flow generation, supported by higher gold production, lower unit costs and the current gold price environment. Given this outlook, the Board has approved a tripling of the dividend and a doubling of the share buyback in 2026, resulting in up to $432 million of capital returns to shareholders.

We have an outstanding team of people who deliver our results and enable us to generate these returns for our shareholders. On behalf of the Board, we thank everyone at OceanaGold for their contribution to the achievements of 2025 and dedication to pursuing the opportunities ahead of us.

Finally, we thank all shareholders - as well as our communities, suppliers and customers - for their continued support as we strive to create value for all our stakeholders.

The Company encourages Shareholders to participate in the Meeting.

Shares Outstanding

The Company’s authorized share capital includes an unlimited number of Common Shares, without par value, and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series by the Board.

As at the Record Date, 224,313,323 Common Shares were issued and outstanding, each such Common Share carrying the right to one (1) vote at the Meeting.

Notice and Access

How will I receive my Meeting Materials?

To reduce printing and mailing costs, the Company is adopting the Notice-and-Access Provisions under NI 54-101 to distribute Meeting materials to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholders. Shareholders will receive a Notice-and-Access notification

 

 

about the Meeting’s date, webcast, how to obtain electronic and paper copies of the Circular, the Notice of Meeting, Proxy or VIF, MD&A and annual audited statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, along with a financial statement request form (collectively, the Meeting Materials).

The Meeting Materials will be available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, the Annual General Meetings section of the Company’s website and a website maintained by Computershare at https://www.meetnow.global/MNHGK99.

All Shareholders will receive a Notice of Meeting in accordance with the Notice-and-Access Provisions, as the Company will not employ ‘stratification’ to differentiate between Shareholders.

These materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholders. If you are a Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

How do I obtain a paper copy of the Circular?

Registered Shareholders can request a paper copy of the Circular by calling +1-866-962-0498 (toll-free in

North America) or +1-514-982-8716 (with charges, from outside North America), providing the 15-digit control number from the Proxy or Notice of Meeting.

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular5
NOTICE AND ACCESS 

 

 

Why is this year’s Meeting virtual-only?

Following the success of the first virtual-only shareholder meeting held in 2025, the Company has decided to again hold the Meeting virtually so that Shareholders are provided with enhanced flexibility and opportunity to participate irrespective of their geographic location.

However, your voting rights do not change:

a.   Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders (including Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholders who have appointed themselves as proxyholder through their Intermediary) will be entitled to attend, participate and vote at the Meeting, all in real time, similar to an in-person meeting.

b.   Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholders who do not appoint themselves as proxyholders through their Intermediary cannot vote at the Meeting, but you can still access the Meeting as guests and will be able to ask questions via the online platform, just like at an

in-person meeting.

It is important to note that you are unable to attend the Meeting in person. If you are participating in the Meeting, you must remain connected to the internet at all times during the Meeting in order to vote when voting commences. It is your responsibility to ensure internet connectivity for the duration to the Meeting.

Am I Registered or Non-Registered (beneficial)

Shareholder?

The voting process is different depending on whether you are a Registered Shareholder or Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholder.

You are a Registered Shareholder if your name is on a share certificate or, if registered electronically, your Common Shares are registered with Computershare, the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, in your name and they are not held on your behalf by an Intermediary.

You are a Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholder if

your Common Shares are registered in the name of your nominee, broker or other Intermediary, such as the Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited in Canada.

What type of Non-Registered (beneficial)

Shareholder am I?

In Canada, there are two kinds of Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholders - those who object to their name being made known to the Company (called OBOs for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the Company knowing who they are (called NOBOs for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).

 

Pursuant to NI 54-101, the Company will deliver proxy-related materials in connection with this Meeting directly to NOBOs and indirectly to OBOs.

•   NOBOs: Under NI 54-101, the Company will directly deliver proxy-related materials to NOBOs who have not waived the right to receive them. NOBOs can expect to receive

a scannable VIF and the Notice-and-Access notification from Computershare, the Company’s registrar and transfer agent. You must complete and return the VIF to Computershare. For voting via telephone and internet, please follow the instructions in the VIF. Computershare will tabulate the results of the VIFs received. The Company assumes the responsibility for delivering these materials to you and ensuring your votes are correctly recorded, bypassing any intermediaries. By choosing to send

these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding your Common Shares on your

behalf) has assumed responsibility for (a) delivering these materials to you, and (b) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

•  OBOs : In accordance with NI 54-101, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice-and-Access notification to intermediaries for onward distribution to OBOs. Intermediaries or their service companies, such as Broadridge, must forward these to OBOs, unless rights to receive certain materials, such as certain proxy-related materials, were waived. Included will be a request for VIF from OBOs, which, upon return, serves as your voting instructions. The purpose of this process is to permit OBOs to direct the voting of the Common Shares that they beneficially own. The Company covers the cost of delivering the Notice-and-Access notification. Please ensure you return your voting instructions as specified in the request for VIF.

How can I vote by proxy or VIF?

You have various options for voting by proxy at the Meeting. You are encouraged to vote in advance of the Meeting online, by telephone or any of the other methods described on your Proxy or VIF.

You may also attend and vote online during the live webcast, if you are Registered Shareholder or a Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholder and have appointed yourself as a proxy through your Intermediary, or you may appoint a duly registered proxyholder to attend the Meeting and vote on your behalf.

Your Proxy or VIF provides that the Common Shares represented by properly executed and deposited proxies will be voted or withheld from voting on each respective manner in accordance with your instructions and that, if you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, the Common Shares represented by your Proxy or VIF will be voted accordingly.

NOTICE AND ACCESS 

 

How do I appoint a proxy as a Registered Shareholder?

As a Registered Shareholder, you can designate either Management Designee being PAUL BENSON, Chair of the Board, or GERARD MICHAEL BOND, President and Chief Executive Officer (the Management Designees)

or a person other than a Management Designee to attend and vote on your behalf at the Meeting. If you appoint a person other than a Management Designee to attend and vote on your behalf at the Meeting, such person does not need to be a Shareholder.

If you appoint the Management Designees without voting instructions, they will vote on each resolution in accordance with the Board’s recommendations.

If you appoint a non-Management Designees proxyholder, that proxyholder must attend the Meeting for your vote to be cast and to be counted.

If you wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to represent you at the Meeting, you must:

1.   prior to registering your proxyholder, submit your Proxy per the instructions contained therein; and

2.   register your proxyholder at http://www.computershare.com/Oceanagold

by 12:00pm (EDT) on Friday, June 5, 2026 and provide Computershare with your proxyholder’s contact information so they can email the proxyholder an invite code. Without an invite code, proxyholders will not be able to attend and vote at the Meeting.

See the instructions set out below under the heading How to vote online at the Meeting for further information.

 

How do I appoint a proxy as a Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholder?

As a Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholder, you can designate either Management Designee or a person other than a Management Designee to attend and vote on your behalf at the Meeting. If you appoint a person other than a Management Designee to attend and vote on your behalf at the Meeting, such person does not need to be a Shareholder.

If you are a NOBO and wish to vote at the Meeting, or appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf, you must enter your name

(or your proxyholder’s name) on the VIF and return it to Computershare as outlined in the VIF instructions. Should you request to appoint yourself or a nominee as proxyholder, and if Management holds a proxy for your Common Shares, the Company will, without cost to you, appoint your chosen proxyholder in respect of those Common Shares. Under NI 54-101, your proxyholder is then authorized to act on behalf of Management for all Meeting matters, provided they are registered as detailed below. The Company must receive your instruction at least one business day before the proxy submission deadline to ensure the proxy is deposited in time.

Registering your proxyholder is necessary after their appointment. Failure to register means the proxyholder will not receive an invite code for the online Meeting. To

register, visit http://www.computershare.com/Oceanagold by 12:00pm (EDT) on Friday, June 5, 2026, and provide your proxyholder’s contact details for Computershare to email them an invite code. Without this code, they cannot attend or vote at the Meeting.

OBOs wanting to vote or appoint a proxy should follow a similar process by filling out the VIF with the relevant names and returning it to their Intermediary.

The Intermediary, under NI 54-101, will arrange the proxyholder’s appointment at no cost. This proxyholder must also register the appointment at

http://www.computershare.com/Oceanagold following

the same procedure as NOBOs to participate at the Meeting.

Importantly, both NOBOs and OBOs must ensure their proxyholder is registered by the deadline to ensure their participation in the online Meeting. Without an invite code, the proxyholder cannot attend and vote.

Resolution 2 – Appointment of Auditor 12
Resolution 3 – Advisory Vote on the Approach to Executive Compensation 12

Financial Statements

The first item of business for consideration at the Meeting is to review the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, together with the auditor’s report therein. These financial statements and the auditor’s report, as well as the MD&A for the same period, have been filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, and are also available in the Investor Centre section of the Company’s website (https://oceanagold.com/investors/results-and-filings) and upon request by contacting the Company Secretary in writing at Suite 1020, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver British Columbia, V6C 3A6, Canada.

Resolution 1 - Election and Re-election of Directors

The Board will consist of eight (8) directors for the ensuing year. As stipulated by the Company’s Articles, all eight (8) directors of the Company will be seeking election or re-election at the Meeting with each director elected holding office until the next annual general meeting of the Company or until his or her office is vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company.

The following persons are proposed as nominees for election or re-election as a director at the Meeting:

1.       Paul Benson

2.       Ian M. Reid

3.       Craig J. Nelsen

4.       Sandra M. Dodds

 

5.       Alan N. Pangbourne

6.       Linda M. Broughton

7.       Stefanie E. Loader

8.       Gerard M. Bond

 

For additional information concerning each of the proposed director nominees, please refer to the section entitled “Director Profiles” in this Circular. For further information regarding the Company’s Board governance, please refer to the section entitled “Corporate Governance Statement” in this Circular.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxyholders named in the Proxy will vote FOR the resolution to elect or re-elect (as appropriate) the eight (8) nominees proposed to serve on the Board.

 

 

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a majority voting policy (the Majority Voting Policy), endorsed by the TSX, to ensure that its directors have the majority support of Shareholders voting at the Meeting. This policy, which is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, requires that votes for the election of directors in uncontested meetings of Shareholders can be cast for or withheld from each nominee individually. The results will be recorded and announced post-meeting.

Should a nominee receive more withheld votes than in favour, it signals a lack of shareholder support. In such cases, the nominee must immediately offer their resignation for the Board’s consideration. The Board will refer the resignation to the Governance and Nominations Committee for recommendation. Unless exceptional circumstances suggest otherwise, such committee is expected to recommend accepting the resignation.

The involved director will abstain from decision-making regarding their resignation, which the Board will deliberate upon within 90 days post-meeting, based on the Governance and Nominations Committee’s advice. The final decision, including a detailed statement of the reasons for any rejection of the resignation, if applicable, along with a TSX-notification, will be publicly announced and promptly disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and stock exchange rules, not specifically limited to a TSX-notification.

BUSINESS OF THE MEETING 

 

Term Limits

The Company prioritizes maintaining a dynamic and effective Board that embodies a rich blend of experience, skills, knowledge, diversity, independence and tenure to ensure sound strategic guidance and governance. In February 2023, the Board instituted a Board Renewal Policy outlining, among other details, term limits for its directors. According to this policy, the Governance and Nominations Committee annually assesses each director’s tenure as part of the re-election process. Directors who have served continuously for 10 years will not be nominated for re-election as Non-Executive Directors, ensuring fresh perspectives and sustained board effectiveness.

Resolution 2 - Appointment of Auditor

It is proposed that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) be re-appointed by the Shareholders to serve as the independent auditor of the Company until the close of the next annual general meeting, and that the Board be authorized to fix such auditor’s remuneration.

The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PwC, for our last two financial years are as follows:

 

FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED

AUDIT FEES (1) ($000) AUDIT-RELATED FEES (2) ($000) TAX FEES (3) ($000) ALL OTHER FEES (4) ($000)

2025 1,700 313 485 0 2,498

(2)Audit-related fees include fees associated with the Sustainability Report and Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act Annual Report and royalties audit.
(3)Tax fees include fees associated with annual tax compliance and with tax consulting advice obtained in relation to ad-hoc projects such as funding restructuring.
(4)All other fees include services provided for the listing of OceanaGold (Philippines) Inc., and other consulting fees.

 

 

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxyholders named in the Proxy will vote FOR the resolution to re-appoint PwC as the auditor of the Company and to hold office until the next AGM and will authorize the Board to determine the auditor’s compensation.

Resolution 3 - Advisory Vote on the Approach to Executive Compensation

At the Meeting, Shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on OceanaGold’s approach to executive compensation.

The Company’s executive compensation disclosure is designed to clearly demonstrate its pay-for-performance philosophy by showing how executive remuneration outcomes are directly linked to both individual and company performance. The disclosure explains how performance is assessed against pre-defined objectives, how the Company’s performance compares with that of its peers, and how these factors inform compensation decisions by the Board. This approach emphasises the strong alignment between executive remuneration, achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders.

The Company encourages Shareholders to review its compensation philosophy outlined in the section entitled “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Philosophy”. Information relating to the quantum of compensation paid to the Company’s executives is outlined in the section entitled “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Summary Compensation Table”.

 

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular12
BUSINESS OF THE MEETING 

 

The Board believes it is important to give Shareholders a forum to provide feedback on the Company’s approach to executive compensation. Accordingly, the Shareholders are invited to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve the Company’s approach to executive compensation through the following non-binding advisory resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT, on an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, that the Shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Company’s Management Information Circular dated April 23, 2026.”

 

  

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxyholders named in the Proxy will vote FOR the advisory resolution. Last year, 97.30% of votes cast on the resolution were voted in favour of the Company’s approach to executive compensation and 2.70% votes were voted against the Company’s approach.

While the vote is advisory in nature and therefore not binding, the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee and the Board value the views of shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote and any feedback received when determining future executive compensation arrangements.

The Company encourages its Shareholders to communicate with it directly in relation to any questions or comments on its executive compensation philosophy. You can write to the Chair of the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee by email at companysecretary@oceanagold.com or by mail to Suite 1020, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3A6, Canada.

Resolution 4 - Virtual-Only Annual General Meetings

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval to hold the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders (the 2027 AGM) exclusively via a virtual-only format using advanced remote meeting technologies. They may include teleconference, messaging systems, chat rooms and specialized virtual meeting software, enabling shareholders to participate from any location.

Historically, the Company has experienced very low physical attendance and very low or no participation from Shareholders at in-person AGMs. By moving to a virtual-only format, the Company is expected to facilitate increased engagement, inclusivity and participation by making attendance more convenient and cost-effective for all Shareholders. The Company is committed to ensuring that Shareholders in a virtual-only AGM are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would in an in-person meeting.

Features of a virtual-only AGM include audio feeds ensuring all participants can hear meeting procedures, live presentation slides, opportunities for shareholders to submit questions electronically, in advance of or during the AGM, display of questions asked during the AGM to all participants and for Registered Shareholders and proxy holders, real-time, virtual voting over the Internet or telephone, supplemented by traditional proxy or voting instruction forms.

Last year, approximately two-thirds of votes cast on the resolution were voted in favour of a virtual-only AGM. The shareholder vote on this proposal will be binding and will determine the format of the 2027 AGM: if approved, the meeting will be held entirely virtually; if not approved, it will be held in an in person or hybrid format.

Notwithstanding the results of this Shareholder vote, it is the Company’s intention to continue to provide Shareholders with an opportunity to vote on adopting a virtual-only format for future AGMs where the Company continues to believe that virtual-only AGMs will facilitate increased engagement, inclusivity and participation from Shareholders.

 

 

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxyholders named in the Proxy will vote FOR the resolution to conduct the 2027 AGM exclusively via virtual means

4Directors’ Compensation

 

Non-Executive Directors’ Compensation

Our Non-Executive Directors’ compensation program is designed primarily to attract and retain talented individuals who have the requisite skills, knowledge and experience to discharge the duties expected of an individual acting in this capacity. The program is designed to:

a.Compensate directors to reflect the time commitment and responsibilities of the role;
b.Align the interests of directors with the interests of Shareholders;
c.Minimize the likelihood of short-term tenures and high turnover of directors; and
d.Compensate directors in line with market median pay for Non Executive Directors and Committee Chairs.

The compensation paid to each Non-Executive Director is comprised of an Annual Fixed Cash Fee for service as a Board and committee member. Additionally, Non-Executive Directors receive an Annual Deferred Unit Award and a one-time award on commencement with the Company.

The following table sets out the Non-Executive Directors compensation during the financial year ended December 31, 2025:

DIRECTOR’S COMPENSATION 

 

 

In September 2025, following a review of non-executive director compensation conducted by independent compensation consultant, Meridian, and having regard to market practice and the Company’s share ownership guidelines, the Board approved the following changes to non-executive director compensation, effective January 1, 2026:

 

COMMITTEE FEES CHAIR FEE (PRIOR JAN 1, 2026) MEMBER FEE (PRIOR JAN 1, 2026)
Audit and Risk Committee $22,000 - $24,000 $8,000 - $10,000
Sustainability Committee $15,000 - $18,000 $8,000 -$10,000
Remuneration, People and Culture Committee $16,500 - $18,000 $8,000 - $10,000

Technical Committee $16,500 - $18,000 $8,000 - $10,000
DEFERRED UNIT AWARD

Non-Executive Directors do not receive additional fees for attending Board or committee meetings. If travel exceeding 12 hours by air from location of usual residence is required for a Company Board or committee meeting, Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed $5,000 travel allowance. Occasionally, for transactions or other significant corporate matters when a special Committee of the Board is formed, members might receive a committee fee - none were paid in 2025. The Non-Executive Directors do not receive option-based remuneration.

Non-Equity (Cash Based) Schemes for Non-Executive Directors

Deferred Unit Plan

The Company introduced a cash-based Deferred Unit Plan for Non-Executive Directors in 2016, following an independent review of Board compensation. The Deferred Unit Plan forms part of directors’ total remuneration and is designed to align directors’ interests with those of shareholders by providing awards that are economically equivalent to holding Common Shares, without issuing equity.

DUs are granted quarterly at the start of each quarter based on the Annual Deferred Unit Award and on the TSX closing price on the second trading day of that quarter, and accrue dividend equivalents when dividends are paid on the Company’s Common Shares. The Remuneration, People and Culture Committee oversee the administration of the Deferred Unit Plan and makes recommendations to the Board, which retains discretion over DU grants.

DUs redeem automatically for cash when a Non-Executive Director ceases to serve on the Board (“Triggering Date”), with the payment equal to the market value of the DUs at that time. The total number of DUs outstanding, together with all other security-based compensation arrangements, is capped at 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Deferred Unit Plan, subject to protections requiring director consent where changes would materially and adversely affect outstanding awards.

Notes:

(1)  All share-based awards represent DUs granted under the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Deferred Unit Plan (the Deferred Unit Plan) to each Non-Executive Director during the year, including commencement (for Ms. Loader in 2025) and additional DUs granted to the Non-Executive Director holders of DUs reflecting cash dividends paid on Common Shares. Values are determined based on the fair value of each DU award on the respective grant date.

(2)Fees include compensation for travel.
(3)The above calculation uses actual average exchange rates for the relevant quarterly periods in compliance with accounting rules with the exception of share-based awards.

 

Share-Based Awards and Option-Based Awards - Value Vested or Earned During the Year

In accordance with National Instrument 51 102, the following table discloses the share-based awards and option-based awards which have vested or been earned during the most recently completed financial year for each Non-Executive Director.

During 2025, Deferred Units (“DUs”) with an aggregate market value of $80,000 were granted to each Non-Executive Director (other than Ms. Loader, who joined the Board after the Q1 grant). The annual grant was allocated in equal quarterly tranches, with the number of DUs determined based on the TSX closing price on the second trading day of each quarter.

 

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular26
DIRECTOR’S COMPENSATION 

 

 

In addition to the quarterly DU grants, additional DUs (representing dividend equivalents) are credited whenever the Company declares and pays a cash dividend on its common shares. The market value of dividend units is calculated using the TSX closing price on the relevant dividend record date. As Non-Executive Directors commenced service at different times, individual DU balances vary, and accordingly the number of dividend units credited in respect of each dividend payment differs across the Non-Executive Director group.

Finally, Ms. Stefanie Loader also received a commencement grant of DUs with a market value of $100,000 upon joining the Board in February 2025.

Notes:

(1)Upon grant, DUs are immediately deemed vested and credited to each Non-Executive Director’s account; however, DUs are settled and paid only upon the Triggering Date.
(2)The above calculation uses the USD/CAD exchange rate of 0.73 and the Company’s closing price on C$38.90 the TSX on December 31, 2025.

 

Share Ownership Policy

In December 2019, the Board adopted the Share Ownership Policy requiring Non-Executive Directors to attain and maintain target share ownership levels which are expressed as a multiple of current annual base fees. The policy was last reviewed in December 2025 and the target ownership level for Non-Executive Directors was increased from three to four times their annual base fees.

Ownership value can be achieved by Non-Executive Directors through:

a.Common Shares owned directly or indirectly by the Non-Executive Director; or
b.DUs awarded under the Deferred Unit Plan, the value of which is calculated with reference to the Company’s share price.

Non-Executive Directors must achieve their target ownership levels within five years of becoming subject to the Share Ownership Policy. If a Non-Executive Director’s ownership requirement is increased or if a Non-Executive Directors receives a raise in his or her annual base fee, leading to an increase in the ownership requirement, the Non-Executive Director will have five years from the date of such increase to achieve the incremental share ownership. These holding requirements will continue to apply until the target ownership level is attained.

 

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular27
DIRECTOR’S COMPENSATION 

 

 

The share ownership values will be calculated as the greater of the cost/acquisition value and market value of the Common Shares, which is a similar practice adopted by the Company’s peers. All share and per-share information is presented on a post-Share Consolidation basis unless otherwise noted. For more information, please refer to the section entitled “Miscellaneous - Share Consolidation” in this Circular.

Current ownership levels to meet the Share Ownership Policy for the CEO and each Non-Executive Director who is seeking election as of April 1, 2026, are shown in the table below:

Notes:

(1)The value of Common Shares, DUs and Performance Rights used in the calculation of actual holdings is based on the higher of: (a) cost value at time of grant/acquisition;

and (b) market value as at April 1, 2026, which is based on the Company’s closing price on the TSX. Director share ownership is presented using the same valuation methodology as the applicable ownership guideline (current market value), enabling direct comparison between required and actual ownership levels.

(2) Total ownership is the aggregate of: (a) all Common Shares held by a Non-Executive Director; (b) all DUs held by a Non-Executive Director; and (c) 50% of Performance Rights held by the CEO.

(3) DUs were granted to Non-Executive Directors only. Mr. Bond receives Performance Rights pursuant to his role as CEO but receives no additional remuneration for his role as Executive Director.

 

 

Note that an individual director’s or executive’s share ownership level is subject to the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, which prohibits directors and executives from trading Company securities during specified blackout periods, as well as at any time they are in possession of material information that is not generally available to the public and which is reasonably expected to have a material effect on the market price of the Company’s securities. In this regard, the directors were subject to trading blackout for 163 calendar days out of a total of 456 calendar days between January 1, 2025, and April 1, 2026.

Securities Held by Directors and Executive Officers

As of the date of this Circular, the directors and executive officers of the Company, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over 984,315 Common Shares, representing approximately 0.44% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date hereof.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

Compensation Governance

The Company has established a compensation governance framework that delineates the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee, and Management. This framework is designed to support the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, promote sound risk management, and ensure compensation outcomes are aligned with shareholder interests and long-term value creation.

 

GOVERNANCE ROLE  

 

 

The Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for final decisions on executive compensation, including approving the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Leadership Team, determining Non Executive Director remuneration, and approving executive incentive plans.

These decisions are made after considering recommendations from the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee. The Executive Vice President, Chief People and Technology Officer, together with the Company Secretary, is responsible for formalizing approved incentive grants.

 

 

 

Remuneration, People and Culture Committee

The Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on remuneration matters, including the executive remuneration and incentive framework, executive cash and equity based incentive plans, Non Executive Director remuneration, executive recruitment, retention, performance and termination arrangements, and the Company’s people and culture strategy.

The Committee conducts an annual review of executive remuneration, having regard to business performance and advice from the Board appointed independent remuneration consultant, Meridian.

Each of the members of the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee have direct experience on executive compensation enabling them to make decisions on the appropriateness of the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

 

 

The Executive Leadership Team

Management briefs the Committee and the Board on business performance to support assessments of management performance and the application of at risk remuneration in line with the Company’s pay for performance philosophy. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Committee regarding compensation for executives, having regard to role, market practice, Company performance and retention considerations.

The Chief Executive Officer does not determine his own remuneration.

 

Compensation Advisors

The Remuneration, People and Culture Committee engage independent consultants to advise on Board and executive compensation matters and has retained Meridian as its independent advisor since March 2020.

Meridian further supports the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee with its annual committee work plan. The plan includes items such as reviewing Management remuneration and payout of awards, LTI and STI plans review, peer group identification and benchmarking, and policy review, among other matters.

During 2025, Management also reviewed guidance published by shareholder proxy advisory services such as ISS and Glass Lewis to ensure that the Company’s compensation philosophy continues to align with industry guidelines.

The table below outlines the aggregate fees paid to external consultants for services related to determining compensation for any of the Company’s directors and executive officers. It should be noted that Mercer did not provide services to the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee in 2025.

Pay Risk Assessment

The Remuneration, People and Culture Committee consider the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. As part of its role in overseeing the risk associated with executive compensation, the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee review the Company’s compensation programs to ensure alignment with its pay philosophy and strategy, while encouraging behaviours that drive sustainable long-term performance, yet discouraging excessive risk taking. Risks related to compensation matters are also independently reviewed annually by Meridian.

Pay-For-Performance Focused Compensation Structure

Total compensation for members of the Executive Leadership Team is strongly weighted toward at-risk remuneration, with a mix of fixed pay and performance based short-term and long-term incentives. These incentives are directly linked to the achievement of short and long-term strategic objectives and overall Company performance. The compensation program aims to ensure total remuneration is market competitive while ensuring a strong alignment between executive rewards and shareholder value creation.

The following diagram depicts the 2025 target annual pay mix for the CEO and the average Executive Leadership Team

member, highlighting the significant proportion of compensation which is variable and performance linked.

 

 

Fixed Remuneration - Base Salary

The fixed remuneration component includes a fixed base salary together with pension or superannuation contributions,

provided in accordance with applicable legislative requirements in the jurisdiction in which the executive is employed.

Base salaries are determined by reference to factors specific to the position, such as the level and breadth of responsibility, the executive’s experience and performance, as well as the period for which they have held their respective position, along with market comparisons of salary levels to other publicly held mineral resource companies of comparable size and complexity, within the Company’s compensation peer group.

The 2025 peer group for the purposes of determining base salary is comprised of the following companies:

 

Alamos Gold Inc. CAN Evolution Mining Ltd. AUS Northern Star Resources Ltd AUS
B2Gold Corp. CAN Fortuna Mining Corp. CAN Orla Mining Ltd. CAN
Centerra Gold Inc. CAN Hecla Mining Company USA Pan American Silver Corp. CAN
Coeur Mining Inc. USA Hudbay Minerals Inc. CAN Perseus Mining Ltd. AUS

Fixed Remuneration - Pension Plan Benefits

The Company does not have any defined benefit or defined contribution benefit plans. NEOs were based in Canada

and Australia, in respect of which the pension plan payments are as follows:

1.Canada:
a.Canada Pension Plan (CPP) - The Company matches up to 5.95% of annual salary to a combined maximum contribution of CA$4,034.10 for 2025, in accordance with Canadian statutory requirements; and
b.RRSP - Registered plan set up by the Company whereby the Company matches employee contributions up to 5% of employee base salary, to a combined maximum of CA$32,490 for 2025. The CEO receives an additional pension allowance, equivalent to the employee RRSP contribution rate, to offset the loss of pension benefits upon move from Australia to Canada.
2.Australia: Superannuation (Pension) - The Company pays contributions to a complying fund on behalf of permanent resident employees. Funds are nominated by the employees and are not administered by OceanaGold. Effective July 1, 2025, the minimum contribution was mandated at 12% of an employee’s base salary (increased from 11.5%), capped at AU$30,000 per annum.

Variable Remuneration - Short Term Incentive Program

The Company operates an annual Short-Term Incentive (“STI”) Plan designed to build a strong performance culture, incentivize superior business performance and attract, retain and motivate our employees. All permanent employees from the CEO down, excluding frontline workers who are covered by site specific operational incentive programs, are eligible to participate. The performance period aligns to the Company financial year, January 1 through to December 31.

STI awards are structured as annual cash bonuses and are determined using a weighted assessment of Company, divisional and / or individual performance. For the Executive Leadership Team, individual performance measures are tailored to each executive’s functional responsibilities and focus on financial outcomes and delivery of strategic objectives. STI payments are made only where both individual and Company performance meet the relevant performance criteria and support an appropriate reward outcome.

How STI is calculated

The NEO’s STI outcome depends on three components:

1.Target bonus opportunity - expressed as a percentage of the executive’s Annual Base Salary.
2.Company performance - measured against Company KPIs, with results ranging from 0% to 200%, where 100% represents target performance.
3.Personal performance (for NEOs other than the CEO) - also measured on a 0% to 200% scale, with 100% at target.

These elements are combined using the following formula:

STI ($) = ANNUAL BASE SALARY × STI TARGET % × WEIGHTED PERFORMANCE OUTCOME

Specific application of the Short-Term Incentive Plan in 2025 for the NEOs can be found in the section entitled

“Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis - 2025 NEO Compensation Details” in this Circular.

Variable Remuneration - Long Term Incentive Program

The Company currently operates only one active equity-based compensation plan, being the Performance Share Rights Plan, which was re-approved by Shareholders in June 2024.

The Performance Share Rights Plan is a long-term incentive (“LTI”) arrangement under which eligible employees may be granted rights by the Board, following a recommendation from the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee. Each right may vest subject to the achievement of service and performance conditions over a Board-determined performance period, which is generally three years. Performance conditions and target milestones are set by the Board and are designed to align employee rewards with the Company’s performance and shareholder value creation. Dividend equivalents accrue on unvested rights and are settled only to the extent the underlying rights vest.

At the end of the applicable performance period, performance rights vest to the extent the performance conditions are satisfied, and vested rights are settled 50% through the issuance of common shares and 50% through the payment of cash, subject to applicable plan limits and regulatory requirements. Unvested rights generally lapse if performance conditions are not met or if a participant ceases employment, subject to limited exceptions for “good leaver” circumstances or a change of control, each as determined in accordance with the Performance Share Rights Plan. The Performance Share Rights Plan includes customary safeguards, including limits on share issuances, forfeiture provisions, prohibition on hedging and Board discretion to ensure outcomes are appropriate and aligned with shareholder interests.

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular33
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

In 2023, the LTI program was broadened to include a wider group of employees across all levels of the Company, reinforcing alignment with the Company’s long-term strategic objectives and fostering shared ownership, engagement and participation in an incentive framework that directly supports sustained performance and shareholder value creation.

A copy of the Performance Share Rights Plan is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.

In advance of the Company’s New York Stock Exchange listing and in compliance with the applicable corporate governance requirements, the Company has adopted an enhanced Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy that provides for the recovery of certain short-term and long-term incentive compensation awarded to executives. Refer to the section entitled “Corporate Governance Statement - Board and Executive Performance” for further information.

In accordance with the rules of the Performance Share Rights Plan approved by the Company’s shareholders, the maximum number of Common Shares issuable or reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity-based compensation programs at any time must not to exceed 3.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As of December 31, 2025, an aggregate of 225,121,801 Common Shares were issued and outstanding, resulting in a maximum share reserve of 7,879,263 Common Shares across all equity-based compensation programs.

As noted above, the Performance Share Rights Plan is currently the Company’s only active equity-based incentive program. As of December 31, 2025, 5,515,849 Performance Rights remained outstanding under the Performance Share Rights Plan, of which an estimated 2,757,925 Common Shares would be issued upon settlement (assuming 100% vesting and 50% settlement in shares). This represents 1.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. Accordingly, a total of 5,121,339 Performance Rights remain available for grant under the current Performance Share Rights Plan (representing approximately 2.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis as of the Record Date).

In 2025, the Company actively repurchased Common Shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) in excess of the number of LTI awards that vested in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Subject to its financial position and outlook, the Company intends to continue this practice by repurchasing at least the equivalent number of Common Shares to those vesting in any given year, to eliminate any dilution of shareholders.

b.Burn Rate Information

The table below sets out the “burn rate” percentages in respect of Performance Rights under the Performance Share Rights

Plan for the fiscal years ended 2023, 2024, and 2025.

5,121,339

 

Notes:

(1)The burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of Performance Rights settled in Common Shares granted in a fiscal year by the weighted average number of Common Shares

outstanding in that year.

 

As noted above, the Company operates a share buyback program under the NCIB and has made a commitment to repurchase an equivalent amount of Common Shares to those issued pursuant to the vesting of the Performance Rights, subject to the Company’s financial position and outlook. This activity effectively offsets the issuance of new Common Shares under the Performance Share Rights Plan, ensuring the Company’s share capital remains balanced and supporting its commitment to enhancing shareholder value and not dilute shareholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

2025 Variable Compensation Outcomes

The compensation outcomes for NEOs in 2025 are a direct reflection of the Company’s operational and financial performance over the year. In line with the pay for performance philosophy, variable compensation outcomes for the NEOs are tied to the delivery of sustained shareholder value and the achievement of ambitious performance goals. The resulting executive outcomes appropriately recognize the performance achievement, representing a fair and transparent alignment between Company success, shareholder outcomes and executive reward.

Short Term Incentives

The STI framework places strong emphasis on Company-wide performance, ensuring executives are rewarded primarily for delivering results that support the Company’s overall strategy and shareholder value, while still recognizing individual accountability for role-specific outcomes.

In accordance with National Instrument 51-102 and Form 51-102F6, short-term incentive awards are disclosed in respect of the

financial year in which the relevant performance is assessed.

a.2025 STI Target Weightings for NEOs

In 2025, all NEO STI performance metrics continued to be based on the following target weighting:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

Over the five preceding years, Company-level KPI outcomes have generally been below 100%, with average outcomes for the Executive Leadership Team of approximately 71%, reflecting the Board’s consistent application of a pay-for-performance framework.

The chart below illustrates the correlation between the Company STI outcomes and the Company’s year-end share price (on a like for like, post share consolidation basis). The 2025 Company STI outcome of 176.1% is aligned with a period of exceptionally strong performance and significant value creation for shareholders, as reflected in the significant increase in the Company’s share price performance.

 

 

 

 

c.Personal KPIs

Performance of the NEOs is also measured annually through a comprehensive system of pre-set, formally documented personal KPIs. Achievements against these KPIs are evaluated by the CEO and discussed with and approved by the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee.

Long-Term Incentives - Vesting settled in 2025

In accordance with National Instrument 51-102 and Form 51-102F6, long-term incentive (share based) awards are disclosed in the year in which they vested or settled, regardless of the performance period to which they relate. During 2025, the Board approved and the NEOs received vesting outcomes for LTIs granted in 2022, following completion of the three-year performance period (2022 - 2024).

a.2022 LTI Grant Vesting Structure

Vesting was determined based on a mix of performance based measures and service based retention, with a strong emphasis on shareholder outcomes:

i.Relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR): Measures OceanaGold’s share price performance (including reinvested dividends) relative to peers, directly aligning rewards with shareholder experience.
ii.Resources & Reserves (R&R): Incentivizes growth and quality of the Company’s long term mineral inventory, supporting sustainable future cash flows.
iii.Restricted Share Units (RSUs): Service based component to promote executive retention and continuity over the performance period.
b.2022 LTI Vesting Conditions and Weightings

 

NEO rTSR R&R RSUs
CEO 50% 16.7% 33.3%
Other NEOs 50% 30% 20%

 

A majority of each executive’s LTI (between 67% and 80%) was performance based, with half of the award directly linked to relative TSR, ensuring executives are rewarded only when value is created for shareholders compared with peers. The Resources & Reserves measure reinforces disciplined investment in the Company’s asset base, while the service component supports stability in leadership required to execute long-term strategy.

 

 

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular39
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

c.2022 Grant Outcomes - Pay for Performance Alignment

For the long-term incentive (LTI) grant made in 2022, vesting outcomes were determined in 2025. Independent advisor, Meridian, assessed OceanaGold’s relative total shareholder return (rTSR) performance against the approved peer group, while Management evaluated performance against the Resources and Reserves (R&R) measures, consistent with the terms approved at grant.

i.Relative TSR performance, which directly measures shareholder value creation compared with peers, was strong. Over the 2022 - 2024 LTI performance period, OceanaGold was ranked 5th in the peer group. This translated to a performance vesting factor of 152.8% for the rTSR component of the 2022 LTI grant, reflecting materially above-median shareholder returns.

ii.The Resources and Reserves (R&R) performance, which supports sustainable long-term value creation by underpinning future production and cash flow, substantially exceeded target. The overall R&R outcome for the 2022 grant was assessed at 267%. Performance was measured against the highest-achieving of three Board-approved vehicle options, as summarized below, and vesting is capped at 200%.

Notes:

(1) Per the criteria set at time of grant, performance is determined against Waihi and Haile Operations only - at the time little to no money was being directed to drilling at Macraes and the strategic imperative was determined by the Board to be success at Waihi and Haile

 

 

 

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular40
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

Performance was assessed in accordance with the grant terms, which focused on the Waihi and Haile operations, reflecting the Board’s strategic priorities and capital allocation at the time of grant. The exceptional reserve replacement outcome was driven by meaningful ounce additions at Wharekirauponga Underground, Martha Underground, Horseshoe Underground and Palomino Underground. While the discovery threshold was not achieved, strong reserve and resource delivery supported above-target performance overall. Final R&R outcomes align with the Company’s Annual Mineral Reserve and Resource Statements for 2022, 2023 and 2024.

d.Incentive Plan Awards - Value Vested or Settled During 2025

Long-Term Incentives - Grants made in 2025

In 2025, the LTIs were granted under two tranches as described below.

Tranche A: Relative Total Shareholders Return (rTSR)

Tranche A represents 66% for the CEO and 70% for other NEOs of the grant value and vesting is based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group.

Tranche B: Restricted Share Units

Tranche B represents 34% for the CEO and 30% for other NEOs of the grant value and is subject solely to continued employment.

Vesting & Peer Group Information

In relation to Tranche A, the Performance Peer Group (“Peer Group”) consists of the following 16 gold producers:

 

Alamos Gold Inc. CAN IAMGOLD Corp. CAN
B2Gold Corp. CAN Kinross Gold Corp. CAN
Centerra Gold Inc. CAN Lundin Gold Inc. CAN
Coeur Mining Inc. USA Northern Star Resources Ltd AUS
DPM Metals Inc CAN Orla Mining Inc CAN
Eldorado Gold Corp. CAN Regis Resources Ltd AUS
Endeavour Mining plc UK SSR Mining Inc. USA
Evolution Mining Ltd AUS Torex Gold Resources Inc. CAN

 

The Peer Group was identified by Meridian and approved by the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee. To obtain the closest fit, share price volatility, place of incorporation, place of material operations, complexity of operations and market capitalization (to a lesser extent) were assessed to ensure that the selected companies in the Peer Group were appropriately comparable in nature.

d. 2025 Grant Vesting Schedule for Tranche A

For the relative performance between the set percentiles, the percentage of LTIs vesting is interpolated on a straight-line basis. With regards to the TSR measure, the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee approved that vesting will commence when the Company outperforms 33.3% of the companies in the Peer Group for the three (3) year performance period 2025 - 2027 in accordance with the following schedule:

 

TSR RANKING IN PEER GROUP % OF VESTING
100th Percentile 200%
75th Percentile 150%
50th Percentile 100%
33.3rd Percentile 50%
Below 33rd Percentile 0%

 

Accordingly, the actual number of LTIs that will vest at the end of the applicable performance period will depend on the performance of the Company over that period, when compared to the Peer Group. If the Company significantly underperforms relative to the Peer Group, no vesting of LTIs may take place for Tranche A (66% of the CEO’s and 70% of the other NEOs’ grants).

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

Share Ownership Guidelines

As noted above in the Directors Compensation section, the Board adopted the Share Ownership Policy requiring the Executive Leadership Team to attain and maintain target share ownership levels which are expressed as a multiple of current annual base salary for executives. The target ownership level for the Executive Leadership Team are set out below:

 

POSITION  
CEO 4 times base salary (within 5 years)
Other NEOs and ELT Members 2 times base salary (within 5 years)

 

Ownership value can be achieved by each member of the Executive Leadership Team through:

a.Common Shares owned directly or indirectly by the ELT member; and
b.50% of LTIs awarded under the Company’s Performance Share Rights Plan. Unvested rights are tracked at target/grant value.

At least 50% of the target ownership value must be held in Common Shares. Until the target ownership level is achieved, the relevant ELT member must retain 50% of the net after tax Common Shares received or apply 50% of the net after tax cash proceeds to the purchase of Common Shares.

Each ELT member must achieve their target ownership levels within five years of becoming subject to the Share Ownership Policy and are expected to build ownership on a pro-rata basis over that period. If an ELT member’s ownership requirement increases due to a change in role or base salary, the ELT member will have five years from the date of such increase to achieve the incremental share ownership. These holding requirements will continue to apply until the applicable ownership level is achieved.

Current ownership levels to meet the Share Ownership Policy for the NEOs as of April 1, 2026 are shown in the table below:

Notes:

(1) Actual ownership is the aggregate of: (a) all Common Shares and (b) 50% of Performance Rights held by the NEO. The value of Common Shares and LTIs used in the calculation of actual holdings is based on the higher of: (a) cost value at time of grant/acquisition; and (b) market value as at April 1, 2026, using the USD/CAD exchange rate of 0.72 and closing TSX share price of C$45.63. The amounts shown in the table take into account the vesting of LTIs that occurred in February 2026.

The Governance and Nominations Committee reviews ownership levels of the Executive Leadership Team on a periodic basis.

Look-Back at NEO Compensation and Alignment with Performance

The following table provides a summary of total compensation paid to (and therefore received by) the relevant NEOs in each of the past five years as a percentage of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)(1), cash flows, total equity as well as the percentage change in total shareholders return.

The Company’s executive compensation outcomes demonstrate a strong alignment between pay and performance over the five year period. As noted above, 2025 represented a record year of operating and financial performance for the Company. Supported by strong operational execution and record average realized gold prices, the Company delivered numerous financial records. Against this backdrop of exceptional performance and shareholder value creation, 2025 Total Shareholder Return increased by 228% year on year.

 

Notes:

(1)EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure. For further information, please refer to the MD&A and the section entitled “Additional Information - Miscellaneous - Cautionary Note Regarding

Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in this Circular.

 

 

OceanaGold Corporation 2026 Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular43
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

 

 

While total compensation paid to NEOs increased to approximately $11.4 million, this increase occurred alongside a greater expansion in earnings, cash flow and shareholder returns. As a result, total compensation paid to NEOs remained modest relative to key financial performance measures and the Company’s overall financial position, while appropriately reflecting the Company’s improved operating results and shareholder outcomes. This demonstrates the Company’s continued commitment to a disciplined, performance-based executive compensation approach that aligns management rewards with long-term value creation for shareholders.

A summary of specific matters to note in relation to the Company’s current corporate governance practices is set out below. Further information on the Company’s corporate governance policies and practices is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.

Board of Directors

Roles and Responsibilities

The Board is responsible for providing strategic direction, defining broad issues of policy and overseeing the management

of the Company to ensure it is conducted appropriately and in the best interests of Shareholders.

In fulfilling this role, the Board oversees the affairs of the Company, including its operational, financial and strategic objectives, and is responsible for evaluating, approving and monitoring the Company’s strategy, annual budgets and business plans. The Board also monitors and approves major capital expenditures, capital management and all major corporate transactions, including the issue of the Company’s securities, and approves full year financial reports, as well as material reports and external communications by the Company.

The Board has delegated authority for the day to day management of the Company to the CEO and the Executive Leadership Team, subject to certain limitations set out in an authorization matrix approved by the Board. Matters that are beyond the scope of those limitations require Board approval.

The Board has adopted a Board Charter which sets out the Board’s composition, operating procedures, and the division of responsibilities between the Board and Management. The Charter also includes position descriptions for each of the Board Chair, the chair of each Board committee and the CEO. A copy of the Board Charter is set out in the attached Schedule A to this Circular and is also available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.

Board Composition

During the 2025 financial year, the Board consisted of eight directors, seven of whom were independent. The Board has determined that all directors are independent, other than the President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Gerard M. Bond, who is considered non-independent due to his executive role.

Appointments

Under the articles of the Company, the directors shall be elected by the Shareholders at each AGM and typically hold office until the next AGM, at which time they may be re-elected or replaced. Casual vacancies and additional positions may be filled by the Board, with such appointees holding office until the next AGM. The Company undertakes appropriate checks prior to appointing directors or nominating candidates for election, including interviews, meetings and background and reference checks (which may be conducted both by external consultants and by directors) as appropriate.

Annual elections are an essential part of corporate governance best practices, permitting Shareholders the opportunity to evaluate the performance of Board members on an annual basis. All eight (8) of the current directors have been nominated for election and re-election at the Meeting in accordance with the current articles of the Company.

Advance Notice Policy

The Company has an Advance Notice Policy which requires an advance notice for nomination of directors by Shareholders. Among other things, the Advance Notice Policy fixes a deadline by which Registered Shareholders or Non-Registered (beneficial) Shareholders must submit nominations to the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the information to be provided and other procedures to be followed, in respect of such notice to the Company.

For an AGM, notice to the Company must be provided not less than 30 days prior to the date of the applicable AGM. If the AGM is announced less than 50 days prior to the meeting, notice must be provided not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the announcement. In the case of a special meeting of Shareholders called for any purpose, which includes the election of directors to the Board, notice to the Company must be provided not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the announcement of the special meeting of Shareholders.

Board Effectiveness and Performance

Nomination for Directors

The Governance and Nominations Committee is responsible for identifying and recruiting new candidates for Board nomination. The Governance and Nominations Committee maintains an evergreen list of potential nominees and analyzes the needs of the Board when vacancies arise, ensures there is an appropriate selection process for new Board nominees in place, reviews the composition of the Board to ensure that it has an appropriate mix of skills and experience and conducts diversity analysis and makes recommendations to the Board for the election of the nominees to the Board.

In February 2025, the Board appointed Ms. Stefanie Loader as a Non-Executive Director after a thorough search process and interview of several candidates. Ms. Loader is a highly accomplished geologist and mining executive with a track-record in successful mining operations, mineral exploration and project development.

Succession Planning

The Board oversees the development of short-term and long-term succession plans for the Company’s directors and Executive Leadership Team. Since 2018, there has been a gradual refreshment of the Board, including the Chair and CEO roles, and the Executive Leadership Team. Together this has enabled onboarding of new expertise, effective succession of key roles/ skills and successful knowledge transfer.

To assist the Board, the Governance and Nominations Committee reviews succession planning for the directors (other than the Chair, which is the responsibility of the Board) in light of the Company’s business strategy, the skills matrix of the Board required to carry out the strategy, gender, ethnicity and other diversity elements and the ability of individuals when identifying potential successors.

Skills Matrix

The Board considers that a diverse range of skills, experience and backgrounds is required on the Board to effectively govern the business. Having regard to the nature of the Company’s business, it determines and reviews from time to time the mix of skills and diversity that it looks to achieve in its membership. To support this process, the Board has adopted a skills matrix, which it uses to assess the skills and experience of current directors and to identify capabilities that complement and enhance the Board’s overall effectiveness in discharging its duties.

Each director completes an annual self-assessment of their qualifications and experience. The Company considered a range of skills, and used a rating system from “1” - general skill level, “2” - strong experience; and “3” - considerable capability and expertise.

Independence Declarations

The Board Charter requires the Board to assess the independence of the Company’s directors by reference to Canadian securities laws, including the independence requirements set out in NI 52-110 and the Principles.

Under NI 52-110, a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. This requirement is also considered with the Principles and additional materiality considerations set by the Board from time to time.

The Board takes steps to ensure that directors and executive officers exercise independent judgement when considering transactions and agreements, and has established processes to manage conflicts of interest, including declarations at the start of each Board and committee meeting. Where a conflict arises, the relevant director will disclose the conflict of interest, recuse themselves (if appropriate) and abstain from voting on the matter.

During the 2025 financial year, the independent directors held private and closed sessions without non-independent directors

and Management at each scheduled Board meeting.

Separate Individuals as Chair and CEO / Independent Chair

The roles of the Chair of the Board and the CEO of the Company are segregated to ensure their respective independence, accountability and responsibility.

The Chair is responsible for leading the Board, facilitating constructive discussions and effective decision-making, ensuring compliance with good corporate governance practices, and ensuring directors receive timely, accurate and sufficient information to discharge their duties.

The CEO, supported by the Executive Leadership Team, takes the lead in formulating and implementing OceanaGold’s strategies and policies approved by the Board, managing day-to-day operations of OceanaGold, and is accountable to the Board for overall business performance and execution.

Director Induction and Training

All new directors receive induction training and the Company Secretary is responsible for overseeing the director induction process.

Directors are entitled to seek independent professional advice, at the Company’s expense, to assist them in fulfilling their responsibilities, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Chair. Directors are made aware of their responsibility to keep themselves up to date with best director and corporate governance practices and are encouraged and funded to attend seminars that will increase their own and the Board’s effectiveness.

Throughout the year, each Board member attended various continuing education sessions on their own.

Board and Executive Performance

Board Performance Evaluation

The Board is committed to carrying out periodic performance evaluations and assessments of the Board, individual directors and committees of the Board. The Board used survey questionnaires for the 2025 annual assessments of the Board and Non-Executive Directors. The confidential and anonymous process is designed for open and frank feedback on the Board’s collective effectiveness in their oversight of the Company. The evaluations and assessment outcomes were then discussed by the Chair with directors individually.

Board and Committee Meetings

In 2025, the Board met on eight occasions. All members of the Board also have a standing invitation to, and routinely attend, all committee meetings. It is customary for the Chair to invite Company executives (including the CEO) to attend Board and committee meetings. Independent directors meet without Management at every regularly scheduled and special meeting.

Each director who is a nominee for election attended 100% of all Board and committee meetings, of which they are a member, either in person or by teleconference in 2025. Please see the section entitled “Director Profiles” in this Circular.

Executive Performance Evaluation

The Remuneration, People and Culture Committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board in respect of the performance measurement and remuneration of senior executives of the Company.

At the beginning of each year, performance objectives in the form of personal KPIs, in addition to the Company KPIs, are set for Management for the ensuing year. Performance against these KPIs is periodically assessed throughout the year and then formally reviewed at the end of the year. Short-term incentives and adjustments to annual remuneration are then awarded based on individual performance against individual KPIs as well as the overall performance of the Company.

The Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee also conduct an annual performance review of the CEO.

Hedging Prohibition

The Company’s Securities Trading Policy prohibits the use of hedging and other derivative instruments in relation to the Company’s securities with the intention of limiting exposure to risk or change the economic benefit or risk derived by the Executive Leadership Team in relation to any Company securities held by them.

Incentive-based Compensation Recovery Policy

The Company has adopted an Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery Policy that provides for the mandatory recovery of certain short-term and long-term incentive compensation awarded to executives where the Company is required to restate its financial results. In such circumstances, incentive compensation received in excess of the amount that would have been paid absent the financial misstatement must be recovered, in accordance with applicable NYSE and SEC rules.

In addition, where an executive has engaged in detrimental conduct, the Remuneration, People and Culture Committee has discretion to determine whether a reduction, forfeiture or recovery of incentive-based compensation is appropriate, having regard to the circumstances of the conduct and the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

A copy of the Incentive-based Compensation Recovery Policy is available in the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website.

Sustainability Management and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)

Sustainability Governance and Oversight

Sustainability is integral to OceanaGold’s long-term strategy and risk management framework. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for oversight of ESG matters and is supported in this role by the Sustainability Committee, which meets regularly and reports to the Board on sustainability strategy, performance, material risks and opportunities, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Further information in relation to the Sustainability Committee, please refer to the section entitled “Corporate Governance Statement - Board Committees - Sustainability Committee” in this Circular.

Our Approach to Sustainability Strategy and Integration

OceanaGold is implementing a Board-endorsed Sustainability Strategy (2024-2026) that addresses the most material sustainability-related risks, impacts and opportunities relevant to the Company’s business and stakeholders. Sustainability considerations areembedded across operational planning, capital allocation, risk management and executivedecision-making processes.

Sustainability performance is also integrated into executive remuneration. In 2025, sustainability-related metrics accounted for more than one-third of the Company Scorecard used to determine short-term incentive outcomes for the CEO and Executive Leadership Team, reinforcing accountability for safety, health, environmental, social, climate and culture performance.

Responsible Mining Framework and Integrated Management System

The Company’s Responsible Mining Framework (Framework) guides its business decisions and activities, committing the Company to high standards of governance and ethics. The Framework is supported by an Integrated Management System and includes Board-endorsed policies covering key sustainability areas, including environment, climate change, human rights, external affairs and social performance, health and safety, fair employment, respect at work and anti-bribery and corruption.

As a member of the World Gold Council (WGC), the Company is committed to conforming with the Responsible Gold Mining Principles (RGMPs) and the Conflict Free Gold Standard (CFGS) at all mining and processing operations it directly controls. Each year, the Company has its conformance independently assessed. The findings from the most recent independent assessment regarding both the RGMPs and CFGS are available in the Sustainability section of the Company’s website.

2025 Sustainability Performance Highlights

During the year ended December 31, 2025, OceanaGold delivered improvements across a range of ESG priorities, including:

Health and safety: zero workplace fatalities in 2025 and a material reduction in injury frequency rates.
People and culture: strong employee engagement outcomes and continued focus on respectful and inclusive workplaces.
Environmental stewardship: updated site water management plans across all operations, progressive rehabilitation activities and continued alignment with international environmental management standards.
Social performance: ongoing community engagement, local procurement and social investment programs across operating jurisdictions.

The Company STI plan is based on a Scorecard that contains a defined list of KPIs used to assess and incentivize the Company’s group-wide performance. In 2025, sustainability-related measures accounted for over one-third (32%) of the overall weighting of the 2025 Scorecard, incentivizing the Company’s performance on Safety, Health, Environment, Energy and Carbon, Social Performance, and Culture.

Overall, the annual Scorecard outcomes affect the annual bonus outcomes for the ~1,000 employees who are STI eligible, to varying degrees based on their organization levels. With the Scorecard representing 100% of the CEO’s STI and 80% of the Executive Leadership Team’s STIs, there is explicit recognition of the importance of overall Company performance and, in particular, sustainability-related matters as a driver of value protection and value creation.

Climate-related Governance and Disclosure

The Board recognizes climate change as a material strategic and risk consideration. In 2025, the Company updated its Climate Change Policy and released a Climate Transition Plan, outlining its approach to managing climate-related physical and transition risks and opportunities.

Each year, we publish an Annual Sustainability Report and ESG data-set related to the Company’s sustainability performance, including disclosure on its operational greenhouse gas emissions and other climate change related matters. The Sustainability Report is prepared with reference to recognized international frameworks and standards, including IFRS S2 Climate-Related Disclosures, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the SASB (Metals & Mining), and align with the World Gold Council’s Responsible Gold Mining Principles and Conflict-Free Gold Standard. Select sustainability metrics disclosed, including the Company’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and energy data, receive third-party limited assurance.

Select sustainability metrics are subject to independent third-party limited assurance, and the Sustainability Report is reviewed by management, the Board Sustainability Committee and approved by the Board.

OceanaGold continues to monitor external ESG assessments and, in 2025, maintained strong relative ESG ratings from leading rating agencies. These assessments are used as one input into continuous improvement of the Company’s sustainability practices and disclosures.

Further information in relation to the Company’s sustainability governance, strategies, impact and risk management, and performance is outlined in its Annual Sustainability Report available in the Sustainability section of the Company’s website and Interactive ESG Data Centre available in the Sustainability section of the Company’s website.

This commitment extends throughout the Company’s operations and supply chains.

FAQ

How did OceanaGold (OGC) perform operationally in 2025?

OceanaGold delivered strong 2025 operations, producing 497,600 ounces of gold and 13,300 tonnes of copper, above the mid-point of guidance. All four assets met or exceeded production targets, helping drive record EBITDA, margins, net profit, earnings per share, operating cash flow and free cash flow.

What capital returns to shareholders did OceanaGold (OGC) outline for 2026?

The Board approved a tripling of the dividend and doubling of the share buyback program for 2026, supporting up to $432 million of potential capital returns. This reflects expectations for higher gold production, lower all-in sustaining costs and continued strong free cash flow in the current gold price environment.

How is executive compensation at OceanaGold (OGC) linked to performance?

Executive pay is strongly performance-based, combining fixed salary with short-term and long-term incentives tied to company and individual KPIs. Long-term incentives are mainly performance share rights linked to relative total shareholder return and reserves and resources, reinforcing alignment between management rewards and long-term shareholder value creation.

What were OceanaGold’s (OGC) total NEO compensation levels versus company size?

Total compensation paid to named executive officers was $11.39 million in 2025, equal to 0.98% of EBITDA, 1.16% of operating cash flows and 0.48% of total equity. The company notes this remained modest relative to earnings, cash flow and equity while reflecting record performance and shareholder outcomes.

What governance and board practices does OceanaGold (OGC) highlight?

The company emphasizes a majority-independent board and fully independent committees, majority voting for directors, term limits, director and executive share ownership policies, an incentive-based compensation recovery policy, a whistleblower framework, and a climate transition plan, aiming to align governance with shareholder and sustainability expectations.

What is OceanaGold’s (OGC) approach to future Annual General Meetings?

Shareholders are asked to approve holding the 2027 AGM as a virtual-only meeting using remote technologies. The company cites historically low physical attendance and believes a virtual format can increase engagement and inclusivity while preserving equivalent voting and question rights for registered shareholders and proxyholders.
